Check this out! There's this cool tool that snagged automated lead gen for funded startups. You can instantly get decision-maker contacts right after funding rounds. I totally vibe with it! If you’re curious, drop a comment and I’ll hook you up with the details!

A self study support bot.

Hello everyone.

I am playing around with an idea of a bot that would support self learning. User could upload a study material and the bot could ask you a quiz or open ended question. It could also create a study plan and offer spaced repetition algorithm to proactively interact with a user. What do you think?

If you would like to give it a try I have a very early dev version of Telegram bot available : @StudyKnotsBot

What would be your killer feature? What would make you use this kind of tool?

I wanna make an app, give me ideas

I've been wanting to make an app for a long time. I have design ideas for different types of apps and want to incorporate things like open source, security, and a beautiful and minimal aesthetic.

I thought of simple things like a beautiful-looking to-do list and calendar but I don't know how oversaturated that is even though I would love that personally and I think some are over-complicated.

GIVE ME IDEAS PLEASE 😭

A Better Art Marketplace

Hey there!

I had an idea for an app for artists and buyers to connect and facilitate purchases.

- Artists can upload their work to the app, both a photo of the piece, as well as a 3D model using a picture-scan (recent AI models have come out that can turn multiple photos into 3D models).

- Prospective buyers leverage AR to view these 3D models in their space, seeing how well they fit to their liking

- Buyers can then purchase the art through the app.

Would love to hear your feedback, as well as other features that you think could make this uniquely tailored to selling art! Thank you!

Journaling App Idea

Hey everyone!

I have an app idea that I wanted to gauge people's interest and see if they would like to use something like this.

The app is a social media journaling app with three main capabilities.

  • Private Space
  • Shared Space
  • Explore/For You Space

The user would use suggested prompts or free-write into their journal. They could then choose to post it privately, where they could only see it, where a few people of their choosing could see it (the people a singular entry is shared with can vary with each entry), or they could post it publicly anonymously. The explore page would show them other people's publicly posted entries based on what the user would be most interested in. The app would also leverage the use of AI to scan journal entries and provide more relevant prompts based on what was written.

The goal of the app is to foster more connection with other people and challenge the user to be vulnerable and honest with others and themselves. I think social connectivity has been declining over the past several decades, and the purpose of this app is to help restore that by making social media more intentional and raw.

All feedback is appreciated (especially the critical ones). Let me know what you guys think!

App Feedback needed!

Hey everyone !

We are currently working on an app which is now in the testing phase - we are looking for people who would be willing to test it out and give us some feedback before we officially launch:)

Briefly about the app - it asks you one thought provoking question each day, which can be either answered privately or publicly - it’s about discovering yourself whilst having a supportive community - kind of like growing together !

If you are interested please leave us a message at tests@mindbay.app :)

Voter Empowerment App Idea

Hey everyone,

Just a random guy here. Lately, I’ve been bouncing around an idea with ChatGPT that I find interesting, and I wanted to pitch it here to see what you all think. Could it go anywhere? Would someone be interested in developing it? I don’t have the time or skills to build it myself, but I’d love to see it happen if it’s a good idea.

This is just a concept, and I’m not looking for credit or to be part of the project—just thought it would be cool to share. I’ve had some back-and-forth with ChatGPT to flesh it out (you can check the conversation here: https://chatgpt.com/share/679c92e0-cec8-8008-aeff-d9278c018e3b ), but it can definitely be adjusted to make it more realistic, cost-effective, or technically feasible.

In my mind, this would be best as a non-profit, open-source project and could potentially be crowdfunded, but those details are open for discussion.

Here’s the pitch:

Project Idea: A Smart Voting Assistant to Fight Political Bias, Corruption & Manipulation

🗳️ The Problem

Voters today face a distorted political landscape shaped by biased media coverage, misinformation, and deep-seated cognitive biases. Politicians with the most screen time gain unfair advantages, while corruption often goes unnoticed or forgotten. As a result, elections are frequently influenced by emotional manipulation, corporate money, and media bias rather than informed decision-making.

💡 The Solution: A Voter Awareness & Corruption Tracker App

Imagine an app that acts as a "bias shield" for voters, helping them make decisions based on facts, fairness, and transparency. This app would:

✅ Detect cognitive biases in political messaging and warn users when emotional manipulation is at play
✅ Monitor candidate screen time across TV, social media, and news outlets, showing how media exposure influences voter perception
✅ Assign a Corruption Score to politicians based on financial transparency, scandals, lobbying ties, and past legal cases
✅ Provide fact-checked, alternative perspectives to encourage critical thinking
✅ Let voters track their own evolving views and compare policy positions objectively

🔍 How It Works

1️⃣ AI-Powered Media & Bias Detection

📡 Monitors political coverage and tracks how often candidates appear in media
🧠 Analyzes speeches & articles to flag logical fallacies, emotional manipulation, and bias
📊 Provides a personal screen-time report, helping users see which candidates they’re exposed to the most

2️⃣ Corruption Score for Politicians

🏛️ Tracks corruption cases, corporate funding, and ethical violations
💰 Analyzes campaign donations to highlight conflicts of interest
📰 Uses AI to scan news & public records for corruption-related stories
⚖️ Ranks politicians on a transparency scale (0-100, Low/Moderate/High Risk)

3️⃣ Voter Empowerment & Engagement

🔔 Alerts users to high-risk politicians or rising corruption scandals
🗳️ Side-by-side candidate comparisons with bias-free data
📢 Encourages politicians to respond by providing transparency reports

🚀 Why This Matters

🌍 Informed voters = Stronger democracy
🔎 Reduces media-driven bias & corruption in politics
⚖️ Levels the playing field for ethical politicians

There's obviously a lot of challanges and limits of such an app, but I think it worth checking if that can be made in a non biased, non profit way.What do you guys think ?

Youtube layer app

An idea that someone with programming knowledge should perhaps try:

I used to love Youtube but it is now full of clickbait and AI generated clickbait

I am not a programmer, but perhaps someone should create an app that sort of 'layers' over the existing Youtube app, and filters out all of the clickbait etc

Again, I am not a programmer and not sure if this is even possible, but if someone could create some app that makes Youtube what it used to be years ago, I will buy it

App Concept: "Wish & Pamper"

Please Note: Current dating app culture, where many platforms, like Tinder, focus on casual encounters and don't prioritize women being treated well or forming deeper connections. Many dating apps can feel like they cater more to men's desires for quick, physical relationships, and this dynamic may leave some women feeling undervalued or disrespected.

You're looking for an app that centers on treating women with care and respect, where men are expected to invest effort in building meaningful connections before anything else. Unfortunately, many popular dating apps still prioritize convenience and short-term gratification, rather than fostering long-term, respectful relationships where both parties are equally valued.

"Wish & Pamper" App

A luxury self-care & gifting app where women submit pampering wishes (spa days, gifts, experiences), and men (partners, admirers, or even anonymous supporters) choose to fulfill them.

For Women (Wishers)

  1. Create a Wish – Women can choose from categories like beauty, relaxation, travel, wellness, gifts, or custom requests.
  2. Personalized Wishlist – A profile section where they save their dream experiences or products.
  3. Privacy Control – Choose to make wishes visible only to approved people or keep them open to the community.
  4. Chat & Approval System – Communicate with the wish fulfiller before confirmation.
  5. Safety & Verification – Secure wish approval and fulfillment tracking.

For Men (Wish Fulfillers)

  1. Browse Wishes – View women’s pampering requests and choose one to fulfill.
  2. Gift & Experience Booking – Directly purchase spa treatments, gifts, or experiences via the app.
  3. Custom Fulfillment – Option to personalize the wish (ex: adding a note, upgrading the experience).
  4. Reward System – Earn points, badges, or exclusive perks for fulfilling wishes.

A game to practice coding and typing at the same time... or just to have fun

Hello,

I'm not happy with my coding skills despite having somehow succeeded in making programs work for years, but it's not my main skill until now.

So I want to get the foundations right and type with fewer mistakes and I had this idea of creating a web app that allows users to play a game where you have to type a command or code snippet that is displayed. You would have an accuracy and speed score so you can try to get better as both.

It could have snippets from the main programming languages (python, java, js, C++...) so you can choose what you want to practice.

Why typing (copying really) a piece of code?

Studies suggest that when you type an existing text from a book, you understand it better and you get a better feel of the style of the author.

So my idea is to do the same for coding.

If you repeat the same code 100 times, it will be second nature when you need it for a project.

That's how skills are learned, right?

What do you think of this idea?

Would you be interested in using it?

I have a very rough draft of a very preliminary version, but I enjoyed playing a bit with it already even if it's a small set of commands.

I found a simple way to come up with great app ideas

So, I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes a good app idea, and I realized it’s actually pretty simple:

  1. Immerse yourself in a specific industry or niche.
  2. Try out similar apps and analyze how they work.
  3. Find an alternative (and better) way to solve an existing problem.

The really good ideas come from combining this approach with intuition or a spark of inspiration. And two weeks ago, I had one of those moments.

I designed the entire app design, talked to 50–60 people to validate the idea aaaaaaand… I’m not a developer. So, now I’m looking for a cool dev to team up with

I just learned that there is an epidemic of male loneliness.

Can we make an app for all the lonely people? I want to have EXTREMELY LOW commitment options. Like, post Frisbee at the park 5pm, feel free to come by.

It would probably need a message board, profiles, and an Ai to figure out best matches for people, places and events.

Workout logging app with audio motivation

I’m building out an AI workout logging app with workout generation (I’m bored of doing the same workouts all the time).

I thought it would be motivating to have a Goggin’s type voice berating me to push me further while I’m mid set.

Imagine you’re going for a bench press PR and you have a Goggin’s type voice screaming at you that you can push further.

Sports Matchmaking App

Looking for some people who have skills in business and marketing and about 2 developers to collaborate on up keeping an app. Ideally if you’re interested in sports and fitness that may help spark passion and interests too long term especially when it comes to the business side and negotiations. If you’re interested let me know. Each individual will get equity, if you bring a lot to the table in terms of business you’re more likely to receive more.

Blush: A Dating App for Shy/Socially Awkward Individuals & Extroverts Who Adore Them

Purpose: To create a low-pressure dating app that connects shy, socially anxious users with extroverts who appreciate their quiet authenticity, fostering meaningful relationships through shared interests and anxiety-friendly communication tools.


Key Features:

  1. Icebreaker Bios:

    • Replace traditional bios with fun prompts (e.g., “My ideal date is...” or “I could talk for hours about…”).
    • Users self-identify traits like *“shy but curious” or “extrovert who loves quiet souls.”
  2. Comfort Zones:

    • Set preferred communication styles upfront: “Start with texting,” “Send voice notes first,” or “Play a game to break the ice.”
  3. Gentle Nudge Mode:

    • Extroverts can send pre-written compliments (e.g., “Your music taste is awesome!”) to initiate conversations without overwhelming shy users.
  4. Gradual Unlock Chat:

    • Progress from anonymous text → voice notes → photos/video calls as mutual comfort grows.
  5. Interest-Based Groups:

    • Join communities like “Anime Lovers” or “Café Date Planners” to connect organically over hobbies.
  6. Safety & Boundaries:

    • Pop-up reminders to respect pacing (e.g., “They haven’t responded yet—give them time!”).
    • Zero tolerance for bullying or fetishizing shyness.

Monetization:

  • Premium Tier: Advanced filters (e.g., “match me only with extroverts”), unlimited icebreakers, virtual “cozy date” templates.
  • In-App Purchases: Send virtual gifts (e.g., digital coffee, books) or customize avatars.
  • Partnerships: Collaborate with mental health orgs for social anxiety resources.

Why It Works:

  • Reframes shyness as a strength: Celebrates introversion instead of forcing users to “perform” extroversion.
  • Bridges a gap: Many extroverts crave genuine connections with shy partners but struggle to meet them on traditional apps.
  • Reduces anxiety: Features like anonymous chat and gradual unlocks empower shy users to engage at their own pace.

Feedback Requested:

  1. Would shy users feel safe using this? What features are missing?
  2. Would extroverts find value in the “Gentle Nudge” and planning tools?
  3. Potential pitfalls or concerns?

Tagline: “Find someone who loves your quiet, not just your noise."

An app idea for fashion as every people are into it somehow

  1. Would you use a fashion social media app that removes judgment, supports local shops, and connects people through style?

  2. A new social media app idea: Fashion-focused, faceless, and supporting local businesses. Thoughts?

  3. A mix of Instagram & Reddit for fashion—where you can tag local shops and bazaars. What do you think?


  1. Introduction

"Fashion should be about creativity, not status. But on most social media platforms, outfits are judged based on who’s wearing them—not the style itself. I want to change that."

  1. The Problem

Many people hesitate to post outfits online due to fear of judgment.

Fashion often feels exclusive, favoring high-end brands over everyday styles.

Local shops, bazaars, and small fashion businesses struggle to get online visibility.

  1. The Solution: A Fashion Community, Not Just a Marketplace

A mix between Instagram & Reddit: Users can post outfits, discuss styles, and interact anonymously.

No Faces, No Judgment: The focus is purely on outfits, making it inclusive for everyone.

Support Local Shops & Bazaars:

Users can tag where they bought their outfit (market, street shop, boutique, or online).

Local shop owners can post their clothing, shoes, and jewelry with their store address.

People can discover unique styles and visit these places in person.

Marketplace Included: Users can sell the pieces they wear in their outfits.

Shoes & Jewelry Matter Too! The platform welcomes all fashion elements, not just clothing.

  1. Community Engagement

"Would you use an app like this? How can I improve the idea? Would you like to discover and support local fashion more easily?" Well this is just overview,I have lot more ideas to add Yours opinions and thoughts are welcome

Fitness Idle RPG Validation and Interest?

I recently sent a collab request to a Taekwondo club regarding my Fitness Idle RPG game. I'm trying to perform some market research for this project and see if there is any interest in a game like this. Here is what I sent them. Is this a viable idea? -

Flexion - Fitness Idle Game https://flexion.blog/

Problem Summary

Many people struggle to maintain a fitness routine or find the motivation to exercise. As the saying goes, “Getting to the gym is half the battle.” Building healthy habits takes discipline and this hurdle often discourages people from starting or even maintaining. Avid gamers in particular may not naturally gravitate toward fitness activities, yet they could greatly benefit from regular exercise. 

Solution Summary

Our platform combines fitness with gaming by allowing users to track their real-life physical progress and translate it into their virtual character’s abilities. As users achieve fitness milestones, their character in the Flexion universe grows stronger, enhancing performance in battles, expeditions, and other Idle RPG-like features. Essentially, we turn personal fitness achievements into in-game stats. By extending fitness perks beyond our physical reality we aim to make fitness more accessible, engaging, and less daunting.

How does Flexion work? 

Flexion’s core mechanic is translating real-life fitness milestones into in-game stats. Users will be able to plug in their daily workouts ( weightlifting, calisthenics, cardio, stretching, sports, etc) and track progression much like a fitness tracker, The user will then receive stat increases for the respective workout. Flexion prioritizes consistency as its main source of power and level progression. ( This will be displayed in an example below)

RPG-based character attributes will be based on muscle groups. Of course, any armor, items, buffs, and perks will also alter attributes( All will be based on weightlifting standards and other fitness standards) 

Upper Body Strength - Chest, back, shoulders, arms 

Lower Body Strength - Quads, hamstrings, calves 

Dexterity - 100 m dash, 1 mile time 

Endurance - Longest run 

Upper body Power (Crit multiplier) - 1 rep bench, 1 rep shoulder press 

Lower Body Power (Crit Multiplier) - 1 rep squat, 1 rep deadlift 

Constitution - Weight/height 

Agility (Crit chance) - Inverse Weight/height, core 

Will Power - Streak based

Sports attribute increases will be determined through voting and realism.  

Let's use me as an example because the vision is quite difficult to communicate without visuals. I just completed a pushup exercise and I input it into the app.

The app rewards for a new pushup PB "32 pushups in a row! WOW," This grants me +2 Upper body STR. Completing the workout gives me +0.5 Upper body STR. Now my character has a new upper STR rating of 72.5 (let's say I had 70 before). I start a quest that involves me exploring a cave. During this idle quest that runs in the background for a certain amount of time, the app recognizes that I have 72.5 upper body STR and it requires me to have 71.7 upper body STR to push open a secret door revealing a hidden item behind it. My character can collect this item during the duration of the quest but would not have been able to if I hadn't met the secret STR requirement. There will be multiple instances of these stat checks during each quest and a RNG range of items and currency that can be collected if the stat check is successful. 

What about females and beginners?

All mechanics like the abovementioned ones will be based on weightlifting standards that account for weight, height, and sex. https://strengthlevel.com/strength-standards. There will be a categorization of quest difficulty from amateur to elite based on the weightlifting standards and other standards set by world organizations. 

Why is this game not single-player?

Not everyone does the same exercises or wants to become the same athlete. “Exercising is not a monolith, it's not a one-size-fits-all.” - Jeremy Tee. Some people are runners, climbers, powerlifters, taekwondo practitioners ETC. These people will have different builds and in turn, create their personalized classes. Teaming up with other players gives you a higher chance of unlocking more things bc people min-max in IRL. Dungeons with bosses that have run-ending mechanics like stat checks that require one player in a team to have X stat will require a diverse team. Diversity makes the game more alive. If I’m a runner and were fighting a dungeon boss, I’d sure be happy if there was a 3rd-degree black belt on my team. 

If people can input their workouts how can you stop rampant cheating?

Well, I have to be honest and say we can’t but this doesn’t mean we can’t put up roadblocks to deter this kind of behavior. We can implement a verified badge system where players can verify their lifts by submitting a video of the lift. Yes, verifying tons of videos will be a logistic and financial issue but not if we run a system like CSGO and their anticheat where a vetted community verifies the mass for an in-game reward. We will prioritize consistency and daily logins for progression.

How can this benefit Taekwondo and other sports?

All sports will be given specific abilities and traits for players that include them in their workouts. Taekwondo will have specific buffs or abilities that its community can decide on before the app launches. We can set up a system where verified instructors or teachers can confirm that a student is indeed performing the sport but this is a key mechanic that has to be explored in depth. These extra buffs and abilities will hopefully draw new members to try a sport for the first time. If this app is successful, I will be sure to include Taekwondo as one of its founding sports.
